Set of 3 medals gold for a steel 1916
A set of 3 German medals from 1916 "gold gab ich zur wehr eisen nahm ich zur ehr". The second one in the middle is made with siver frame. From 1916, the Reichsbank rewarded the sale of jewelry or the exchange of gold for paper money (which quickly lost value) with a medal. Precious metals such as gold and silver were raw materials essential for war and foreign exchange. The medals designed by Hermann Hosaeus were issued in many variations and very large runs. They consist of blackened iron, have a weight of 16.4 to 20.4 g and a diameter of 39 to 41 mm.
